## Page.hover() method
This method fetches an element with `selector`, scrolls it into view if needed, and then uses [Page.mouse](./puppeteer.page.mouse.md) to hover over the center of the element. If there's no element matching `selector`, the method throws an error.
Signature:
```typescript
hover(selector: string): Promise;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| selector | string | A [selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to search for element to hover. If there are multiple elements satisfying the selector, the first will be hovered. |
Returns:
Promise<void>
Promise which resolves when the element matching `selector` is successfully hovered. Promise gets rejected if there's no element matching `selector`.
## Remarks
Shortcut for [page.mainFrame().hover(selector)](./puppeteer.page.hover.md).
